Just the other day my Mom told me a story about my Aunt going out to lunch with a friend. While waiting she casually complimented someone she didn't know. Before leaving the restaurant the lady (she complimented) came over and thanked her for brightening her day.

It's such a simple thing to say something nice.

Do you remember the last compliment you received? How about one you gave?

Thursday, August 2

It's another part of the country that has swept me off my feet. The rolling hills, countless horses and southern hospitality conjures up feelings of wonder and delight. My in-laws only add to the splendor.

Each a.m. I go for a run, (I'll call it running when in actuality it's somewhere between a run/walk/crawl) but stop and talk

to each horse along the way. A long morning "run" filled with anthropomorphic conversations

eventually leads to a new list of friends. When I finally arrive back at my in-laws house it's pool time.
